but one of the things that happened as a result of this is that guys like ted cruz and some of these outside groups like heritage action, they took what was, in fact, a strategic divide in the party and they suggested it was an ideological divide. you do have a lot of conservatives out there who have turned against what they consider the establishment in the party. they're very angry and feel what has to happen first is some sort of purge within the conservative movement and then move on to tackling democrats. that could be very disruptive. >> that is a backdrop. what do you think can possibly get done here? the president talked about three things this week. he talked about progress and the budget, a potential farm bill and immigration reform. any prospects for movement on those? >> you know, the environment is toxic right now in washington in the aftermath of this battle, at any time than i've seen in the 30 years i've been there. i'm extremely skeptical that you're going to see these big deals. by the way, right after the deal was reached, president obama was on his high horse sayi

as somebody whose insurance company has dropped him, i agree with senator ted cruz. in the letter they said it was because of the regulations and the affordable health care act. there were a lot of good things in the affordable health care act. but there are horrible things democrats are incomplete denial about, will not address, will not admit. that is causing a lot of anger among the american people. guest: i don't and know what those horrible things are. it's very unfortunate. these things are not communicated. it would be better if the aca were communicated more widely and effectively early on. i think the question about the president signing a budget, we have had budgets every year. i have been dismayed that republicans have not been more specific in their budgets about dealing with entitlements, tax reform, the deficit. and national healthcare. both sides agree we have too many uncovered people in the country. but republicans did not really engage on a debate before the mention of obamacare. and even republicans have complained about this. as a result, we have
